Out-Of-Character Information
The simplest section of the application! Simply answer these questions so we can get to know you a bit better. What’s your Minecraft Account Name?: - Mythrilknite
How old are you?: - 24
What time-zone do you live in?: - (-7:00 GMT Mountain Time)
Have you ever roleplayed before - if you have, how?: - The earliest instance I can recall roleplaying in was on an RP server for Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning. Some time later, I roleplayed a bit in EVE Online.
Have you been on any other roleplaying servers?: - Not for MineCraft.
Have you applied to this server before?(Please link past applications): - No.
How did you hear about us?: - I googled Best RP Servers and the site popped up among the results.
What do you think the server will be like? - Well, I've always wanted a true-to-medieval sandbox-styled game, and while I understand this doesn't quite meet some of that criteria, it'll be an adventure nonetheless. I value open-ended traits in games, and this game appears to exhibit that.
Have you read and agreed to the rules?: - Both yes.
What’s your favourite rule / the rule you agree with the most?: - "You need to keep in-character at all times. Don't over-use local OOC, but make sure you use the provided chat channel when speaking OOC'ly." I have a hard time understanding people that sign on to a role-playing server and then proceed to talk in the OOC channel (if there even is a dedicated one) for most of their time on the game world. It just doesn't make sense to me. Definitely #1 priority.
Definitions This is simply so that we can get an understanding of how much you know about roleplaying. Feel free to Google the answers, but make sure that you write the reply in your own words, not another website / person's! What is roleplaying?: - Acting out another character as though you were that person. More than that, though: You are that person. You know his feelings, his history, his thoughts and ambitions, and you behave as you believe the character would in events that you find yourself in.
What’s metagaming?: - Simply put, this is essentially the act of placing OOC conversations into the knowledge of your character.
What’s powergaming?: - This is somewhat akin to taking control over another character, but it's more in line with choosing a character's fate. For instance, you can't say that "character y, upon seeing my sword, stumbled in fright off of the cliff and plummeted to his death." It's just not a fun way to play.
In-Character Information Now you actually make your character - be creative but stay reasonable! Make sure they make sense and that they follow lore. Try to come up with a character that you actually want to play. What’s your character called?: - Gion Adrigun
What race are they (and sub-race)?: - Human
What sex are they?: - Male
How old are they?: - 22
Give us a brief description of their life - their story, childhood, family (Include server lore when writing): - Gion was born to a villager family on the eastern coast of Anthos. His father, Turin Adrigun, still lives life as a better-than-average locksmith, working for the villagers on the coast. His mother (Alia Adrigun), on the other hand, was a baker working for the same circumstances. However, when Gion was merely 11 years of age, Alia succumbed to a dangerous strain of Ki'katta during "The Deep Cold", leaving her vulnerable to the region's frequent Bo'dank illness. Not long after her death, many people (young Gion included) attempted fill the role as baker for the village. Turin, however, went into a state of depression, which proved difficult to rise from. Gion himself even visited his mother's gravesite every passing - it scared him at first, being that close to the deceased, but it wasn't much later when he found solace in the burial site. From the age of 12 though, Gion was trying to get the most out of his life... in a sense trying to life up to his late mother's expectations, though what they really would have been, he is still unsure of. Constantly trying different trades, some of his first attempts included the culinary-related fishing, farming, and cooking, later deviating into (arguably) more successful occupations, such as hunting. At one point in time, he even tried his hand at his father's locksmith profession before casting it aside as well. Quickly approaching the end of his teenage years, he started to miss his originally scheduled burial site mourning more and more, to the dismay of his father. Nightmares started manifesting in his dreams more and more, and one night, he left the village. To this day, he is still wandering the forests as a nomad, stopping by nearby inns as a means of rest, though notably infrequent due to nightmarish tendency. However, he still thinks about going back, but he quickly waives the idea with the thought of disappointment, or painful memories.
What are they like (personality)?: - Gion is extremely reserved in speech with those he doesn't know, but he is known across some of the lesser-known inns/shelters around Anthos as a friendly person. He worries about his father, but worries even more about returning to the village.
What are their ambitions?: - He strives to explore as much as he can, hopefully ridding himself of the now-anguished memory of his mother. During his exploration, he also makes use of commodities such as herbs and various meats, becoming somewhat of a hunter-gatherer. He hopes that through the eventual trading of these commodities through market hubs, he will atone, or at least feel less guilty for his disappearance. He sees it as being helpful.
Do they have any special skills?: - He learns at an accelerated rate due to his fervent behavior towards occupations in early teenage years. Other than that, nothing of note.
What are their weaknesses?: - He is quick to depression, and it seems every night he has trouble falling asleep, no doubt due to fear of nightmares, but this hasn't stopped him from trying.
Give us a description of how they look (not a screenshot yet!)?: - dark brown leather vest, villagers tunic underneath, messy brown hair and a medium tan on the skin.
Anything else you want to say about them?: - If something isn't quite up to par with the universe's lore, I have no problems editing part of the crafted storyline for Gion. I would like to refrain from full rework though.
Please give us a screenshot of your character’s skin: - Fantastic, there you go. No need to write any more - simply post this on our forums (and on MinecraftForum like it says above) and wait!
